Pei Ze had his Oak Guardians, which were barely enough to defend the resource point. If they weren't, he could always supplement their numbers after conquering it.
However, the slave teams for mining and smelting had to be prepared in advance.
As he was pondering this, a surprised voice suddenly called out from nearby.
"Pei Ze."
Pei Ze turned toward the voice and saw two familiar faces he hadn't seen in a long time.
It was Colin and Jiang Rui, whom he had met when he first arrived in Red Maple City.
"Haha, Pei Ze, long time no see," Colin said with a wide smile.
Jiang Rui also greeted Pei Ze enthusiastically.
Compared to when they had first met, both were more enthusiastic toward Pei Ze, yet there was also a hint of restraint.
They had heard quite a few stories about Pei Ze's exploits recently.
His solo destruction of Fortification No. 89 had caused quite a stir in Red Maple City back then.
It gave them a deeper understanding of Pei Ze's strength and potential.
